I bought it on a whim for our trip back to New York lastfall, and I’m so glad I did. No, it’s not the heaviest peacoat, and I can’t wear it during January and February in Chicago. But it’s VERY warm considering how lightweight it is. As you might already know (since I talk about it so often, haha), I’m always cold… and this little coat kept me warm on a recent 45-degree morning. Like, Mitch was kind of complaining and I wasn’t. (Whaaa?!)

I followed the reviews and ordered one size up, and it’s great. Honestly, I love that it has perfectly placed pockets, and I love how the collar sticks up when it’s both buttoned and unbuttoned. I needed to iron it once upon taking it out of the box, but that was it; I’ve had it for a year, and haven’t had to re-iron since! All I can say is that for $38, this is the peacoat of the year. :)

Note: Buttons are completely straight; one of my shoulders in the above photo is just positioned kind of high because otherwise, bag straps fall off, haha.
